Default H-Pipe Installed

I just got my H-pipe installed today on my true duals. I had no crossover to begin with and it just didn't sound good. It is 2.5' pipe under the axel with bullets. Im very pleased with the way it sounds now. Here is a video before the crossover http://tinypic.com/r/2sahzk0/5 Now here is the video after the H-pipe was put in http://tinypic.com/r/2q8wu54/5 I didn't go over 3k on the rpms cause i didn't want to **** off the neighbors. Ill get a WOT video sometime sunday. Think it sounds any better? Thanks!

I will take it to another level. I think it's exclusive to 4th Gen F Bodies.

Hey Full-Force: Do you know of a decent kit that includes most of the pipes that will be needed to make your own H pipe dual setup? Kinda like the magnaflow and summit X pipe exhaust kits. I just got a mig welder and I'm thinking that I would like to make a chambered muffler and "BFH seat well" H pipe setup. I dont supose there are too many bends that have to be fabbed in. IYO is it best to use a parts kit like those, or just buy some bends/strait pieces/hangers/etc. ?

I figured this would be a decent place to ask this question

And of course, there would be a 12 oz can involved in the actual "mocking up" of my exhaust

Sounds Much Better! I knew it would. With no cross over pipe (X or H) sounds like a truck.
